Abstract:
Focuses on how Herod achieved legitimacy among his Jewish subjects, specifically how he used the historical past to strengthen his hold on the present. By appropriating past sources of legitimacy, he used multiple ways to position himself as a rightful Jewish king, especially by marrying Mariamne and thereby becoming (he and his children) a part of the Hasmonean dynasty of rulers.
